"I sit on many boards and councils but the endeavor that I am most passionate about is sitting on the Board of Directors for the Center for Work Education and Employment (CWEE). CWEE helps individuals receiving TANF get the education and skills necessary to obtain viable employment putting them in a position to eventually transition off of public assistance and hopefully out of poverty."

– Taryn Lewis, Board of Directors

"CWEE has given me the confidence I need and brought me some hope through this difficult time in my life. I am really grateful to be here."

– Michelle, CWEE Participant

CWEE has been a wonderful and positive experience for me. I’ve updated my skills and am preparing to re-enter the workforce. It has revived my self-worth.

– Rochelle, CWEE Participant

"One of the highlights of my year is taking pictures of the women and men of CWEE. I have the utmost respect and admiration for the graduates of this program, and especially the Alumni Award Winners."

– Whitney Yeager, Whitney Yeager Photography

"Presenting at CWEE is an enjoyable and worthwhile experience. The participants are fun, interactive and willing to learn."
